Vegetable Quiche:
Oven on at 200c
1 ready made round puff pastry
6/7 eggs
1 large zucchini thinly sliced or grated
half an onion chopped
half a red pepper chopped finely
half a Feta cheese cubed
half a cup of milk (cow, oat, rice, soya)
salt and pepper to taste
Lay the puff pastry in your quiche dish, in the paper it comes in. Put some oven paper over the pastry and pour in some baking beans, rice or lentils to weigh it down and bake it for 10 minutes at 200C
Break the eggs into a large bowl and mix them together. Tip in all of the other ingredients together, mix it all up and pour on to the pre-baked pastry (obviously removing the rice/lentils first). Bake for around 40 minutes.
Dorset Apple Cake
225g self raising flour
1tsp baking powder
200g castor sugar
2 eggs
150g melted butter
250g diced apples
25g flaked almond (not obligatory)
preheat oven to 160°c
grease 1 round cake tin
Mix everything together except the apples.
Spread half onto cake tin. Heap the sliced apples in the centre and spread the rest of the cake mix over it, trying to completely cover it.
Sprinkle flaked almonds over the top.
Bake for 1 1/4 hours 160°c

Let's be honest, would you really be bothered coming back for a table umbrella? That said they left their tortoises to be looked after by you and took all the light fittings... I think I'd put the umbrella in storage with the rest of their stuff and if they've not come to collect it all within a time frame, I'd get rid.

@belindawalker3120 Ай бұрын

I think you need to leave the previous owners umbrella outside your gate and make sure it is locked so that they do not just come in and take more of your things. I am loving the outside colour you chose for the walls and I am sure that once the chairs have been upholstered, the patio furniture will look lovely. Thank you for taking us along on your idyllic days in the sun in Tuscany. I eagerly wait the notification that tells me you have posted. Indi looks like she is having so much fun runniing in those fiels, and I find the finding of those sea shells rather intriguing, imagine how old they could be. till next Sunday!!!

😅Wow, the previous owners are very nervy. They should have taken all their belongings at the closing. Poor Carlo had to clean up all the mess out of your house and store their belongings and they took their time coming to collect it. Make sure they know to come at a predetermined time and not to enter the house if your not there. I'd change all the locks before a time is arranged and make it clear they need to take all while your both there , even if they don't want some of it they have to take it ,you should not have to have whatever they might not to take with them removed at cost to you. They have a lot of nerve, they made you wait over-and-over again before you could move in.

I love the colour you've painted the house, it looks amazing. I'm only half way through the video but just wanted to say "enough" with the previous owners. If they come and take that parasol I'll chase them away myself :) I would be tempted to get a pair of beautiful wooden security gates and take great pleasure in telling them to "bog off" if they attempt any further extractions. For me, that would ruin the whole vibe of a new house - not feeling it's completely mine because previous owners keep gaining access. It did actually happen to me with a house in the English countryside and I only lasted three years there because I never really settled. I eventually padlocked the gates to stop the previous owner visiting and taking things from the garden! Most people will probably cope with that better than me but you are beyond entitled at this stage to put a boundary down and some gates up!

My friends born and raised in Rome bought a house in Baltimore, USA. When they sold it, they did not move out immediately after they had turned the keys over to the new owner and were shocked when the police came by the next day and kicked them out. And at a time when I was looking for a furnished place to rent that was over stuffed with things, I declined to rent that property because I knew the Italian owner would never remove all of the extras. I also want to mention, of course just my opinion, but I have always known and felt that while the Region of Tuscany always gets a big buildup, in actuality the region of Campagna is more beautiful than Tuscany and for that matter, Abruzzo is too.

How long after you left a house to new owner are you allowed to come back and take things? I am in Sweden and if you haven´t agreed on anything else what is there when they leave the keys to the new owner belongs to the new owner.

I love your garden inspo. You saved the garden furniture Carlo bought. It’s going to look lovely.

Nicky, That outside sofa could be improved if you used a jigsaw to take the curvy bits off and make them straight and replace the struts on the side with straight bits. It would look a bit modern and be much nicer.

Sounds like a very good idea. 👍

I just have one question….. How many times can these previous owners come back to take stuff? 😡

If it were me, it would be never.

I also thought that the geometric brickwork on the wall (on your roof) was a unique architural feature & aesthetically pleasing. It would make an ideal backdrop for a fashion shoot. A fun episode idea would be for you & Marie to each find a dress, accessories, shoes at the vintage market and for Carlo (with his cinematography skills) to take photos of you both posing on the roof. You won't even need a wind machine up there! 👱🏻‍♀️♥️

It has been so much fun watching you and Carlo fix up where ever you are living 😂. Love you guys!!

Finding those sea shells was awesome! In California in Tracy Ca. I saw an area tha had dried upside down coral. When that area maybe millions of years ago was under the ocean!
